I see it as opportunity for proprietary technologies like silverlight or javafx to serve as fallback mode for browsers not supporting the video tag/codec.
It is very easy to implement and you don't have to transcode to a different format: http://michael-bien.com/mbien/entry/using_applets_as_fallback_mode (this is only a sample, the security dialog would not appear if e.g javafx was used... but javafx apparently does not support ogg too) wikipedia for example already does that, it uses <video> in many places. regards, michael On Jul 4, 4:20 pm, Karsten Silz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Some people thought that the upcoming HTLM 5 with standard audio and > video tags would spell the end of Flash (and Silverlight and JavaFX). > I never thought it would because these plug-ins offer much more than > just video and audio. > > However, it seems now that there will be no standard audio and video > codecs in HTML 5, which means that unless a de-facto standard emerges > somewhere down the line, Flash with H.264 video will continue to > deliver video to the browser masses.
